This session will examine two innovative models of curriculum design and how institutions can effectively integrate experiential learning, industry engagement, and career preparation into their academic programs. The University of New Hampshire’s Business in Practice (BiP) Program introduces credit-bearing, practitioner-led courses to provide the skills set needed to for students to be work-ready, focusing on 4 intelligences: Analytical, Social, Professional and Competitive. In contrast, Loyola Marymount University’s CBA Advantage program integrates a structured co-curricular experience that is rooted in reflective practices, and operationalized by the Suitable platform. Presenters will discuss why each institution selected their approach, how they collaborated with various stakeholders during curriculum updates, and ultimately how their program adds value to meet student, institutional, and industry needs.
